(10th March, 1624 A.D.). When Sultan Parwez and Mahabat Khan arrived near Allahabad, ’Abdu-lla Khan raised the siege and returned to Jhaunsi. Darya Khan held the bank of the river in force, and had carried all the boats over to his own side; the passage of the Imperial army was thus delayed for some days. The Prince and Mahabat Khan encamped on the other side of the river. Darya Khan held the fords, but the zamíndárs of the neighbourhood showed their loyalty, and collected thirty boats from various parts, and guided the royal forces over at a spot some kos higher up. Darya Khan held his position to contest the passage until he heard that the royal army had crossed. He then knew that it was no longer tenable, and fell back to Jaunpur. ’Abdu-lla Khan and Raja Bhim proceeded to Jaunpur, and counselled a movement to Benares; so Shah Jahan sent his females and attendants to Rohtas, and himself proceeded to Benares. He was joined by ’Abdu-lla Khan, Raja Bhim, and Darya Khan, and having arrived at Benares, passed over the Ganges, and halted on the river Tunus. Prince Parwez and Mahabat Khan, having arrived at Damdama, they left Muhammad Zaman Teherani there, while they passed over the Ganges with the intention of crossing over the Tunus. Shah Jahan, leaving Khan-dauran in charge of his position, crossed the Ganges, and confronted Muhammad Zaman, who fell back to Jhaunsi. - [Next: 1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-elliot-3.1.2) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-elliot-3.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-elliot-3.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-elliot-3.1.1) · Pramāṇa
